Silent Hill: Townfall: Notice: Game Update (Patch 1.4.0)

Taken from the developer's own announcement, quoted rather than summarised. The full post is linked at the foot of this page.

On October 8, 2026, we released an update improving some systems and addressing some in-game issues.

Please check that the version number in the lower right corner of the main menu is displayed as v1.5.154194.

System Changes

・Gameplay & AI Improvements for The Weight:

• Grab attacks now deal heavy damage instead of causing instant death on Story Mode and Normal difficulties.
• Searching behaviors have been improved to prevent The Weight from ‘camping’ in front of the player’s objective for long periods of time.
• Searching behaviors have been improved to prevent The Weight from repeatedly searching the same location and remaining there for long periods of time.
• Hunting behaviors have been improved to prevent The Weight from tracking the player too aggressively.

・Gameplay & AI Improvements for enemies:

• Enemy sensitivity to the sound of firearms has been reduced.
• Enemy sensitivity to the sound of the player while running has been reduced.
• Enemy sensitivity to the sound of the player entering a hiding space has been reduced.
• The frequency of enemy counterattacks after successful player attacks during melee combat has been reduced.
• With the exception of The Weight, grapple attempts from enemies while the player is actively blocking with a melee weapon have been removed.
• Players are now given more time to react to enemies after escaping a grapple.

・Puzzle Information Design Improvements

• A collectible manual for the "Remote Systems Control" console that can be viewed for quick reference while operating the console has been added.
• The pipe layout for the "Aux Line" puzzle has been updated to improve clarity.
